'Oxford Holocaust Memorial Events Series 2022' Project Announcement

We are delighted to announce that Barnabas Balint (Doctoral candidate, Magdalen College) has recently been awarded a Humanities Cultural Programme grant for their project ‘Oxford Holocaust Memorial Events Series 2022’.

Each year, Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January), remembers the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust and the millions who suffered under Nazi persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2022 is ‘One Day’, encouraging us to think about the individual days in history that hold extreme significance, the days when life changed for victims of genocide, and the day in the future without genocide towards which we all strive.

‘One Day’ also acts as a sombre reminder that a day will come when Holocaust survivors are no longer around to share their powerful testimonies. On that day, it will fall to others to tell their stories. This event series builds on the online Oxford Holocaust Memorial Lecture Series in January-February 2021, bringing together high-profile individuals from the UK's Holocaust commemoration community in person for open discussion and bridge building between members of the University and influential figures in political, civic, academic, and public life.

This series will be delivered online and in person from 20th January 2022 until February 2022.
